What I don't follow from the article... It appears as if the j-lens is your mechanism to peer into "j-space", taking an analog to a circuit board, could the j-space be simply a transmission channel and j-lens is a reader you added to read whats passing through?

All the claims about changing the content of j-space changes the output, inserting content into the j-space changing what the output was, all these could still be true without the j-space being a congnitive global workspace where actual cognition is happening. Or perhaps they aren't claiming that cognition is happening there but that j-space is serving a space for "working memory", I am definitely not sold on this, but will read more into it.

Honestly if a meta employee, esp software dev is having to struggle to make rent or have no emergency savings, its actually on the employee. They are not making burgerking salaries to have to live paycheck to paycheck unless they make poor housing and cars and vacation choices.

The visa issue guys should play safe, stick to stabler companies, more reward isnt without more risk

I get that whats happening at meta is wrong, but please stay away from these excuses as to why thats wrong, these aren’t for those employees

Its a pretty straight forward technique, the display is at the bottom and in the glass cube there is a mirror at 45 degree angle facing you (you can see the mirrors edge on the side wall) which reflects the image from the display at the bottom making it look like a hologram

I hear you and I am really hoping more people notice this obvious degradation than dismiss this as workflow or prompt or context saturation issues.

It isn’t obvious but hope the guys managing this realize what kind of confusion and doubt (or self doubt) that this creates in people and will have a long term impact on usage of their models.

I am going to try removing every and all plugins (i only have all Anthropic’s plugins like superpowers) and see if that makes any difference.

I feel like the article is conflating simplicity with minimalism. Just doing the minimum of whats asked isn’t in itself enough to differentiate great vs ok.

Simplicity is worth recognizing only when the person started with a complex problem and ended up with a relatively simpler solution.

For a straightforward ask you will have people who will just build a hut and another will build a campus, who is right really depends on many factors and time.

I see a lot of comments in googles defense, part of me wonders whats the split between google employees(even so people in teams related to these products) and normies who ignore the true underlying issue here…

Google consistently fails to provide a process to deal with user issues. You donot see many reports of these at Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and many more providers. Though Meta learns from google I think.

In a way this could also be construed as the 'AI' being a library of books that it is referring to answer your questions and is prohibited from generating the books verbatim.

Usually digital libraries have different licensing costs, but those allow you to rent the whole book for a period of time. If instead someone came up with the model of 'search the library for any page and return specific information' as a direct service - I would imagine they would pay the publishers, except in this case that, the publishers are getting the short end or no end of the stick.

I feel like a lot of non technical people who are vibe coding or vibe using these models, focus on hallucinations and believe that as the hallucinations are reduced in benchmarks, and over estimate their ability to create safe prompts that will keep these models in line.

I think most people fail to estimate the real threat that malicious prompts can cause because it is not that common, its like when credit cards were launched, cc fraud and the various ways it could be perpetrated followed not soon after. The real threats aren’t visible yet but rest assured there are actors working to take advantage and many unfortunate examples will be seen before general awareness and precaution will prevail….

That's a good one.

Seasoned developers who would not make such a mistake could also be lead to think the llm is writing safe code if they don't ever read it line by line.

Vibe coders who are not seasoned developers, not sure if they would even know that this isn't safe code even if they read it line by line.

How I estimate work 6 months ago

Painting a wall has no “if then else”. You dont need to test to see if the wall has been painted.

I guess a fair analogy would be if the home owner just said “Make my home great and easy to use” by Thanksgiving without too many details, and between now ans thanksgiving refines this vision continuously, like literally changing the color choice half way or after fully painting a wall… then its really hard to commit.

If a home owner has a very specific list of things with no on the job adjustments, then usually you can estimate(most home contract work)

All software requests are somewhere in between former and latter, most often leaning towards the former scenario.

I wonder how will this affect future Anthropic products, if prior art/products exist that have already been built using claude.

If this is to only limit knowledge distillation for training new models or people Copying claude code specifically or preventing max plan creds used as API replacement, they could properly carve exceptions rather than being too broad which risks turning away new customers for fear of (future) conflict

We have to also understand that the trainer didn't get to spend 12 hours of researching every minutia or do a trial and error study to get to where OP got to. This doesn't necessarily mean the trainer failed, just that they were constrained by time, which OP wasn't. And I think that is the essence of this tech, when used wisely, I can lead to results like these which you can't get despite having access to the best talent for a limited time. Only the well afforded can afford a full time trainer/therapist.

I don't think one can deny the benefits here. The detractors here are like don't build a side walk coz someone may trip and fall or don't plant trees in your front yard coz of what happened to the Texas governor.

Most would likely agree that everything needs a balanced approach, bashing a service completely as evil and fully advocating people to stay away vs claiming the service is flawless (which the OP isn't doing btw) aren't either a balanced position.

Think different doesn't have to mean think extreme.

I guess one of the interesting things I learnt off this article(1) was that 7% of DNS query types served by 1.1.1.1 are HTTPS and started wondering what HTTPS query type was as I had only heard of A, MX, AAAA, SPF etc...

Apparently that is part of implementing ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) in TLS 1.3 where the DNS hosts the public key of the server to fully encrypt the server name in a HTTPS request. Since Nginx and other popular web servers don't yet support it, I suspect the 7% of requests are mostly Cloudflare itself.
